After 40 years of eating out I have never ever been served food as awful as this. The service was just as bad. Despicable basic and pathetic frozen chips with a steak and ale pie which was beyond comparison with any poor meal I have...ever eaten. Gravy I thought was a jug of coffee obviously came from powder. Originally asked for mash which was not available, overheard the table next to me saying it was powdered. Great location with acceptable beer but please do not order food.More

It seems chef hasn't taken on board previous comments as our chips were not cooked through either, not nice. It is a bit worrying if you are unable to cook frozen chips properly! Did mention this when we paid and was told this would be...passed onto the chef. On a positive, the staff are very friendly and welcoming but the kitchen seems very disorganised.More

My family visited The Ferry with some friends who were visiting from Derbyshire as we wished to showcase the venue's unrivalled views of Liverpool's iconic cityscape and while our upstairs table for 9 did indeed provide us with a beautiful vista across the Mersey (gaining...this review an extra mark), it was such a shame that the rest of our dining experience here proved to be a major disappointment, and for us as hosts, frankly an embarrassment. I don't like it when I see people writing negative reviews for seemingly no good reason and especially don't do it myself with any relish, particularly when, like this, it is a business local to myself but I cannot overlook the series of issues we experienced here. We were booked in for Sunday dinner at 1:30pm but while there were quite a few other diners, it didn't seem overly busy and there were certainly plenty of waiting staff on duty. Despite the apparent strength in numbers from staff, there seemed little communication between them all. One of our guests is a vegetarian and was told there was a vegetarian menu but it did not appear for a long time, her husband went downstairs to enquire and was mistakenly told there wasn't a vegetarian menu but rather just the vegetarian dishes included on the main menu and then after a long wait, the vegetarian menu was finally presented to us. Again, despite the significant numbers of staff, the service was very slow but after we did eventually order, when the drinks came, one was missing, as was a Yorkshire pudding added to a chicken dinner (you have to pay an additional £1:50 for them if it's a non-beef roast), a portion of chips and coleslaw that was supposed to come with a steak burger. When the latter omission was pointed out, we were just told that they didn't have any coleslaw but there was nothing resembling an apology or offer of a potential substitute item. One of our guests immediately sent the chips back when they did come because they were not cooked properly. The same could be said for both the potatoes (very hard) and broccoli that came with our meals but given that the whole experience had been embarrassing enough for us, we kept quiet. These issues were pointed out to staff though both when they were clearing the table and the bill was being paid but other than a half-hearted reply that the message would be passed on - hopefully with rather more accuracy than our orders - they were merely met with what seemed like disinterested shrugs and apathy.More

Took my dad for a pint, he can't walk far but got a limited parking space! The Ferry is in a great location with views over to Liverpool waterfront and directly opposite the new Bramley Moore stadium. Dad wanted a sandwich so we ordered a...club sandwich and salt n pepper chips. Unfortunately, we ordered at the same time as several others which resulted in a very long wait. So much so one couple cancelled their order but when I went to enquire with a view to cancel, our order was ready! Reason for my post is to acknowledge how lovely the two girls serving were. Friendly, smiling calm and when our food was brought we were offered free drinks for the wait! Never expected that! Great service despite the wait! Thankyou!More
